Trt questions. 31
So I'm 31 and on trt. About 6 months ago I got clean and sober. Been dealing with depression for some years now. While in treatment I had my test checked and when I completed treatment I had it checked again. Both readings were around 300. I'm 31 overweight and my diet needs improvement. Went to an endocrinologist and he put me on trt. 200 mg test c 1x every 2 weeks. 1mg anastrozol eod. Ive completed 2 cycles a few years back. Of course because of former knowledge I could tell anastrozole vs test amount dosages were off a bit. Too much anastrozole. So I've taken it apon myself to bump my test to 200 mg wkly while still taking anastrozole eod. I'll go for bloods after 12 weeks and adjust accordingly. At the current moment I feel like my nipples are sensitive but I may be paranoid. Kind of throws me off because I figured the Anastrozole was a little too high so if you have any feedback or suggestions please let me know.

AnonThis post and these comments don't add up. Now 3 years later after going ghost OP is back and wants free promo gear.
CelestiaxGood for you for standing up to addiction. Now, focus on depression and anxiety and do your best to eat clean and workout at the gym, make goals and do all you can to achieve them.
Go to a psychiatrist, psychological therapist and keep you primary care physician in the know, so all of depression and its demons are under control. Because if you don't, it could mess everything up.
As far as estrogen, in all honesty, you have much bigger problems to worry about. Getting dry and fearing the estrogen puff, shouldn't be on your mind, at least for now. 12 weeks are way too long to check, since you have access to an endo, I assume you have insurance, I'd do it monthly to carefully monitor the changes in your body, especially with diet and exercise as your body's response to hormones changes, depending on your shape, activity level, and health conditions.
All in all, glad to see you're sober and hope you stay this way!
Good luck buddy :-)
Thanks bro for that. I'm grateful to be sober. Getting bloods tomorrow
Congrats on getting sober.
You should go get some blood work done, see where your estrogen levels are now.
Then change things.
And what's the deal? Endo doc involved or not?
He is I had lab work done from another Dr I mention my prior steroid use and he said that could be the cause of Low T he was pretty quick to put me on trt which I was okay with. I gained like 60 lb getting sober and thought that it might be because of low T he agreed I'm just going to go get my blood work done and get it checked he gave me the AI saying that he didn't want me to be real puffy that he wanted me to be a little dryer so I just went with it but I speculated a.i was a little high. I just never used anastrozole. I've used exemestaine.
Rustyhookerhe gave me the AI saying that he didn't want me to be real puffy
No endo ever said that....ever....
Ps-i remember my first beer
You've negged and bashed me enough bro.
Dude lay off bro. The main purpose of going to him was weight gain and hormones. Get a life man your not my endo. And you apperently don't know what endos and patience talk about. Fuck
RustyhookerYoure clearly not using an endo given your actions and replies. So, go get one and do it right.
+1 "he gave me the AI saying that he didn't want me to be real puffy that he wanted me to be a little dryer" - i don't think any Endocrinologist (other than one who uses gear or is a sports endo) would ever say this to a patient - and even if he was a user/sports endo, he is clearly not acting professionally. Maybe Sob is oversimplifying his medical advice - or talking BS. I'm going for the latter.
RustyhookerSelf trt, probably under 25 and trying to sound adult. Lol!
Your attitude needs adjusting. Talk to your doctor. I was prescribed Anastrozole 1mg e3d, but only because I asked for it. My doc later convinced me to stop using it. He was right, I didn't need it. If you think you need more test ask your doc. You would be surprised at how much they are really allowed to prescribe.
You think I should drop a.i completely and just get back to 100 mg weekly
Ok bro thanks. From prior cycles I felt a.i was way too high. I'll adjust a.i. my main thing is just staying stable till I get blood work. Sorry if my attitude come off wrong. Just got this dude saying I'm lying. I'm just asking for specific advice. Appreciate your solid feedback.
I am not saying to do anything. I am not a doctor. Everybody is different. For example, I don't need an AI even with 700mg of Testosterone. If you are a high aromatizer then you need the AI. What's your e2 levels? High blood pressure? Water retention is a potential killer.
Perhaps, you need it temporarily until your weight is back down. Just keep in mind, Arimidex in combination with testosterone will lower your HDL and cause your joints to ache. If needed then fine, if you don't then talk to your doctor. BTW, just my rule of thumb, 200mg per week is needed to achieve and maintain normal to normal high test levels. Again, talk to your doctor. If you change now before blood testing then the doc won't know the dosage was too low. They always start low. They are supposed to treat your well-being, so if you don't feel right ask your doctor to increase your dosage.
Thanks for calming down. You will always be tested here. +1
I'll just slowly back away from this one. lol
I’m gonna have to use my wife’s move on this one, where she turns around, and walks just a decibel louder than normal, and shuts the door hard enough so that I know she isn’t mad, but that she also isn’t hearing it.
I’ve been paying attention lately....
Dave_61SMH! Why wouldn't you lower your dose of anastrozole, instead of raising your dose of cyp? I have to agree with Greg here, when I say that you're an idiot! Also, loosing some weight could help you raise your test levels. And eating healthy could help you prevent yourself from developing cholesterol problems, heart problems, circulatory and cardiovascular disease, liver disease, heart attack, and more! You're 85 lbs more than you should way at your height. Is that all fat, or is there some muscle as well? Do you know what your bf% is?
You're on trt to have normal testosterone levels and be healthy right? Well, all you're doing is fucking everything up even more. You're certainly in no condition to be using cyp as part of a cycle, with being overweight and not eating right?
Do you even have any sort of plan as to what the hell you're intentions even are at this point?? You also said you just got clean 6 months ago, which could be part of the reason that your test was low to begin with, which is why waiting a while for your levels to possibly come back up some would of been smart, but then again, look at the decisions of the person I'm talking to!
Being that you asked, I have some suggestions for you, and I'm being 100% serious. Go back to your originally prescribed dose of 200mg test cypionate every two weeks, or maybe even split it up into 100mg every week, and contact your endocrinologist and let him know that your anastrozole dose seems way too high for your testosterone dose, and ask him to lower it. Start eating healthy and loosing weight. If you're not signed up for a gym already, then do so and do some cardio and weight training on a regular basis.
I don't know why, but this post really got to me for some reason! Like I said, I don't know exactly what about your post really got to me, but I really think you could benefit from some professional help. Wow, especially after reading below where you tried to claim you never said that your doc put you on trt, you really need psychiatric help above all else.
Thanks for the advice appreciate your input I never said that the doctor didn't put me on trt dude said that the doctor put me on a cycle I never said a cycle there is a difference between being on trt and a cycle dude I just got fucking put on trt felt like I could benefit from having a little bit more testosterone and so I started doing one shot every week when I was on cycle before I double that homeboys calling me a liar fuck this website now I remember why I got off of it before thanks for your input though
AnonBut now you're back 3 years later asking for free promo gear.
Lost interest.
THIS IS ALL I READ
"So I'm 31 and on trt. About 6 months ago I got clean and sober. Been dealing with depression for some years now."
That there buddy is a big red flag to me. When I hear key terms such a "recently sober" and "depressed" my immediate thought is why would you think pumping hormones into your body is a genius idea?
You literally have the two worst red flags (mentally) to even think about AAS.
You need to be on sober road for years and get your head together before considering AAS.
Thank you have a good day.
Ok I’ll bite.
Here’s your problem - 200mg EOW is causing massive peaks and troughs so stick the the dose but do it weekly. For clarity this is 100mg each week. Your adex is dosed way way too high. Go and see your doctor and tell him you have changed to weekly 100mg test c shots and ask him to check your estrodial. Based of the results (crashed I bet) your dose will need to be adjusted.
After getting back to 100 mg wkly.test. Do you feel from your experience I should drop a.i totally. I have 0 experience with the a.i perscribed. But I've read up on it.
I only feel you should speak to you doctor who will do a blood test and adjust or stop your dose of adex based on what you actually do or don’t need for that level of testosterone. My experience has nothing to do with YOUR particular MEDICAL situation. Why we are even having this conversation is beyond me. You have a doctor get him or her to deal with it - not a bunch of steroid users on a steroid review site.
You're an idiot.
If I could have given you more I would have lol.
+++++++
RustyhookerSo your dr put you on cycle and you upped your cycle? Not buying it. Post bloods
Dave_61You know what, I agree with Rusty. There are certain aspects of this post that just don't sound right to me also! Mainly, 1mg of Anastrozole eod for 200mg of test cyp every two weeks! That's almost a dose of Anastrozole they would be give to a woman who's using it to help treat breast cancer.
Usually, some doctors would start with a dose that's not even sufficient enough to treat your high e2. For a trt dose of test, I take 0.5-1.0mg per week for e2 control. I know everybody's different, but this is basically malpractice here!
And that's exactly what caused me to jump with my test yeah Common Sense would be to lower a i. Of course I wanna be on upper end so I upped test. This is main reason I put post on here was for more or less questions about a.i.
RustyhookerDoc wont just say here ya go with ai. Since everyones different they need proof in bloods.
Plus the rest of what you posted. The chain of common sense
Never said that said doc put me on trt.
Dave_61This is copied and pasted from your post that you wrote:
Went to an endocrinologist and he put me on trt. 200 mg test c 1x every 2 weeks. 1mg anastrozol eod.
So, what do you mean you never said doc put you on trt???? Stop wasting people's time!
Ok - I'm confused . what part of: "Went to an endocrinologist and he put me on trt. 200 mg test c 1x every 2 weeks. 1mg anastrozol eod." doesn't mean that a doc put you on trt? I think you are full of the proverbial..so gonna have to neg you for talking shit.
Dave_61My bad Oz! I didn't notice where you had already pasted exactly what he wrote in your message.
I would stick with the program your endo put you on, or, if you really feel the AI is too high call the docs office and express your concerns and go in for an early appointment for a blood test, or pay out of pocket for a blood test to see where your estro is. 200mg weekly is high for trt and your levels are going to be too high when you go for your follow-up and you may mess up your script.
If you're overweight running that test too high could cause you serious issues.
If you're scripted test and you double the dose won't you run out before your next appointment?
And please do explain certain extra issues from being over weight please
RustyhookerEstro, stroke, fat gain, titties growing-gyno, hardening of arteries by screwing up e2, fluctuations, growing long nose for lieing
I can go on all day with sides for your errors
I just burst out laughing when I read that looool!!!
RustyhookerLol...its funny til it hits. Then its funny to others. Skin to win!
Rusty ain't much for sugar coating shit, lol. That's why I like him though. No homo.
Sugar coating benefits no one mate
RustyhookerIve never seen a dr give a comfortable massage first. Shoot em straight and hope he researches. I doubt he does though.
Yeah, for his sake I hope he does, playing around with higher doses with high body fat and messing with AI's without bloods ain't no joke. Those higher doses will mess up his script anyway. And if his gym and diet isn't on point it's alot of trouble for nothing.
Lol, yep, that pretty well covers all the bases.
Lying about what bud. I'm posting for feedback bro not trolling just good feedback.
RustyhookerThen your dr lied by going that high on trt. Or was it doc in a box? 300 isnt really low without more testing. But then you just up the dose?
Doc in a box? What the fuck are you talking bout bro? I just want to be on the upper end of test. Do me a favor if you can't give me positive input then quit trolling my shit bro get a life
RustyhookerYoure on a public forum, asking advice. Youre screwing up your health and thats the advice. You expected unicorns and rainbows? These drugs can hurt you. Especially when youre self administering without a clue. You can die.
-2 for yanking chains bruh
That’s ridiculous man and you know it. He asked advice all u did was bash every post and call him a lyer and then neg him. Come on
